Easy and Way to Make Accurate and Straight Cuts Using a Hand Saw

[@ashesll978]

That was a riveting lesson. Your comparison of the 2 saws and the demonstration of your cut preparation with the chisel is something I haven't seen before. Thank you.

Simple, short video with easy to follow instructions. I am going to make the bench hook as my first jig first thing today. Thank you, Steve!

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi Bharat, Thanks, pleased you got something from the video and for letting me know. Cheers Steve

[@GraemePayne1967Marine]

Thanks for the mind refresher! Also, it's good to see another left-handed woodworker every so often, so I can remember I'm far from the only one.

God only made a few really creative genius's the rest of the world have to struggle being Right Handed! lol Thanks for the comment Graeme, People love watching Lefties because that then can just mirror what we show them. Cheers Steve

[@adrift_makes]

Your fourth advice was what I needed! Thank you!!!!!

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi Not sure what the 4th one was ? But happy to hear it helped you out of a spot. Thanks for letting me know really appreciate it. Cheers Steve

[@adrift_makes]

Sorry that was the third, "think and believe that I can cut straight and square!" Thank you Steve!

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

@@adrift_makes Whether you think you can or you think you can't you're right either way. So I prefer to think on the positive side of I can. Cheers Steve

[@eduardom800]

great video keep the good work up.

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Thanks, William I hope you continue to enjoy them. Cheers Steve

I think that probably the most important thing to learn at the beginning is how to properly sharpen your tools. I feel that many get discouraged because they assume the tools they gather from the diy stores or other places are already sharp and ready to go to work. Nothing could be further from the truth. Perhaps you could demonstrate how to properly sharpen saws, planes, chisels, spokeshaves, etc.? Or have you already and I missed it because I'm new to following your channel?

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

I agree 100% Matt. Cheers Steve

[@jodyfrasnelli8928]

I learned saw technics 55 years ago and I still do that kinds of cuts and still do it that way

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

If it's right and it works Jody why change? LOL Cheers Steve

[@namelesswarrior4760]

It has to be one of the most frustrating thing ever for me! 5 out of 7 days I would get perfectly straight cuts but then there are days that I just can't win! I'll try it your way and see how it goes! Thanks for the tips mate!

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

We all have off days, the trick is to get a greater distance between them. Let me know how it turns out for you. Cheers Steve

[@landesnorm]

Thanks for the tips. How about using the Japanese saws? And "shooting" the the cut wood with a plane to square it and get rid of the saw marks? Thanks so much!

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Thanks for the feedback Norm much appreciated also pleased you could use the info. Cheers Steve

[@njp101]

You should link the video to the block plane truing video. Thanks

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Great Idea, Thanks NP. Will do. Cheers Steve

[@davidlambeth9810]

Great video! If I have an older saw, how do I make sure it is sharp for the "tools" part of the 3 T's?

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi David, Touch it up with a saw file and check the set of the teeth. Cheers Steve

[@rick91443]

Good Morning Steve; GREAT idea. cheers...rr Normandy, France

[@donfinch862]

Hi Steve. How accurate is that fold out square? ('spose if you're using it......) Dunno if I'd trust it. Good little learny on saws there too. Some good tips coming up I reckon. It's always good to hear someone else's methods/explanation to maybe improve your own skills - even stuff so basic. Cheers mate

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi Don, Gotta say the squares a pretty much spot on the locating lug is very positive when it locks on. Not as near as nice and using a Colen Clinton Square but didn't have on bog enough. Got a few more trick and tips videos coming up soon. Stay well Don this is a weird time to be living in but at least we are LIVING! Cheers Steve

[@ltwoodproducts3265]

Nice reference to Napoleon Hill

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Made a lot of sense back in the day that it still very relevant today for those that care to read it. Cheers Steve

[@mgmoody42]

Technically speaking, it is a backsaw, but it's assigned task is tenon saw. But, semantics.

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi Matt, Tomato, Tomarto, UK call them Tenon saws I'm pretty sure. Because there are many saws that have the rigid back. Fret Saw, Dovetail Saw, Gent Saw even some Japanese saws, to name a few. Most important thing is they get the job done. :) Cheers Steve

[@BigDaddyPoof]

Workshop looks orginized.

Hi Peter, If only you could see what the camera doesn't show! :) Cheers Steve
